The Celophane Flower
In their best album so far
Flower Productions
The Cellophane Flowers owe a lot to Britpop. "In their best album so far" the subdued, layered melodies familiar to fans of Travis and James are quite prevalent, as are the grooving basslines and soaring lead guitar lines. Don't get me wrong, all of the songs are executed well, it's just that other than "Never too late" (which is easily the best of the lot; so beautiful and understated) nothing else really stuck out. Maybe it's because deep down I was prepared to hear a pop song pop up and send my ears into a whirlwind. In fact, every time I played the album I hoped that would happen.
